• Notes

  In Visitations of County of Cornwall, James is described as "of Boskenna". References in Bibliotheca Cornubiensis 1874 as being mentioned in: "A true outline & sketch of the life of Samuel Eyles Pierce" (1825) p 59-98 "Memoirs of the Rev Thomas Wills" (1804) p 47-50, 60, 281 Boskenna is one of the principal country houses in the vicinity of Penzance. James inherited Boskenna on the death of his genial but dissolute father in 1775. He also inherited Boskennal Farm and Bosliven from his grandfather, who had left it to James and not his own son Francis, hoping that theestatewould survive. This fact is mentioned in Francis' own will "my said children are provided for by their grandfather's marriage settlement". "In and Around Penzance" The ministry of the Octagon Tabernacle of the Congregational Church in Penzance was continued by the Rev. Owen Morris, who married MissHarrietpaynter of Boskenna in 1798. Harriet came from a strongly Calvanistic background. Her brother and his wife, James and Betty paynter, weredeeplyinvolved in the Calvinistic movement. At Boskenna, where the Paynters lived, a hall was made available for religious services to be held whenevr they could get a "shining light" tostayin the house. Boskenna was one of the earliest nonconformist private chapels."
